What is the recommended way to use markers?
My preferred way of marking a section of music is to play it through once, tapping the ‘M’ key at the start of each measure. If you want the beats marked then double-click the first marker and specify auto subdivisions – I very seldom use actual beat markers. And if you want the sections marked then double-click (or right-click) the relevant measure marker and convert it to a section marker (or use ‘S’ instead of ‘M’ for marking it in the first place). Remember that the Navigation Bar (View menu) allows you to go directly to any marker. Also note that if you want to mark events that happen in arbitrary places (e.g. the place where a particular lyric or chord or note happens) then Text Blocks are usually more suitable – see the Help for more about Text Blocks. • “Can I generate markers automatically?” Every now and then, someone proposes a scheme for automatically generating markers at fixed intervals, or for converting Transcribe!’s automatic subdivision markers into “real” markers.
